Publisher Description
Three years after her mother's suspicious death, forensic artist Jo Cattrel is in hiding, working at a storm-watching lodge along the Washington coast. When her father sends her a disturbing and cryptic message, Jo leaves the safety of the lodge to find him. But during the ferry crossing, Jo witnesses a murder—and becomes a target.
More surprising to Jo than being in danger is the identity of the person who steps in to protect her—none other than her ex, former Green Beret Cole Mercer. Now a private investigator, Cole has been looking into her mother's death. If he can just uncover the truth, maybe Jo can end her self-imposed captivity and the two of them can pick up the pieces and build a future together.
As Cole and Jo search for answers, the past rushes in like a dangerous tide before the truth can be revealed.

Riveting Romantic Suspense
Perilous Tides is a sterling addition to the Hidden Bay series! I loved the first book in this series and had high hopes for this one! My expectations were decidedly fulfilled and exceeded! The formidable opening lines swept me into the story, and the perfectly paced plot, with precisely placed, impactful twists and revelations kept me fully invested in the outcome! The skillful intertwining of suspense, romance, and faith provided me with a captivating and fulfilling reading experience. The rugged, richly drawn Pacific Northwest setting ramps up the danger and suspense. As forensic artist Jo Cattrel seeks to unravel the mystery involving her deceased mother and elusive father, private investigator Cole Mercer, with whom she has a very complicated past, goes above and beyond to help and protect her. I love this couple who headline the expertly crafted, compelling, and engaging cast of characters. As danger raises the emotional stakes, the potential for a second chance romance kept me rooting for a happily ever after future for Jo and Cole. I appreciate the inspiring faith thread with themes of trust and forgiveness. I totally enjoyed this book and highly recommend it and the series as must reads for romantic suspense fans.
